I will check that out, thanks!

It's interesting that the Brits grouped the Italians, Jewish Brigade, Indians, Greeks and New Zealanders together. DEI works.

e: They apparently didn't have any British units in these corps for any meaningful stretch of time

:thunk:

You had a lot of white british battalions in indian units instead - or gurkhas - but the armies that went into italy kept having more and more indian officers as time went on.

the revived 10th has dogra swords for their insignia. They are a step above hill tribes. Kashmir was reintegrated into india by the late 2000s that they voted for modi in line with the rest of the country.

One of the Indian defence journals publishes excerpts from the old British martial races manuals, and the comments are, what I'm assuming are your retired Indian officers, saying things like "So true! The Dogra is a loyal and hardy race when given cigarettes!"

I realize you've talked about how much of this stuff still circulates under Modi but it's a bit wild.

The Gallant Dogra

All of that to say, I do not see the IDF actually embracing Indian enrolment in the IDF, unless they're recruited through York University.

I just saw a book about that. For all of the opposition to Indian officers they turned out fantastic.

I don't understand how the Labour party hasn't completely disintegrated.... A majority of the party voted Corbyn leader not that long ago!!!! How are any of those people still in the party now?

They're not in the party. Most left and with that the organised left of the UK crumbled to nothing. Labour is now propped up by blairites who get their funding from business interests. I was going to say they're now a pro-business socially progressive type of neoliberal zombie party but thinking about it they're not even that. They're basically as regressive as the tories on trans rights for instance. Scotland at least had the SNP but they're in the process of collapsing. Center right neoliberal parties for everyone!

but not actually based at home. The British created really convoluted schemes during the First World War so that Indian soldiers on the Western Front could not actually make their way back to England on R&R but had to stay in certain parts of France. In WW2, they didn't use them in Northwest Europe at all.

France was saved by colonial soldiers in both world wars and, as those wars took place in France, was even more insistent that colonial troops not actually interact with the citizens (read: women) of the metropole. In the Second World War, the troops De Gaulle and Leclerc landed with in 1944 were nearly all colonial troops but after Paris was liberated the French Army began uniforming French Resistance, surrendered Vichy troops and conscripting as rapidly as possible so they could send the colonial troops away. Famously they excluded them from the parade after the liberation of Paris, though there's some evidence the Americans insisted on that.

The Germans had Georgian/Turkmen/Indian whatever troops in their eastern legions but kept them as far away from Germany as possible.

The conditions of service for Druze and Ethiopian Jewish soldiers in the IDF is already questionable. The idea of non-Jewish Indian soldiers filling the ranks is basically incompatible with the pure Jewish homeland thing, so unless they could be kept out of Israel, I don't see them being okay with it.

To Our Valued Community,

At Secret Flying, our mission has always been to help travellers explore the world by providing access to affordable flight deals and incredible travel experiences. We have strived to make the world a more connected and accessible place for people of all backgrounds. Today, we are announcing an important change in our approach to flight deals.

We have long been committed to supporting the well-being of all communities around the world. We believe it is our duty to use our platform to advocate for justice, peace, and the resolution of conflicts where possible. For years, the situation in Israel has been marked by conflict and suffering. It is time for this urgent matter to be addressed.

After careful consideration, we have decided to make a significant change to our publication policy. Until a two-state solution is in place and the rights and well-being of stateless Palestinians are addressed, Secret Flying will no longer be publishing flight deals to and from Israel.

Our decision is not meant to be a judgment on the people of Israel, who have a right to live in peace and security, just like all individuals around the world. Nor does it question Israel’s right to exist. Rather, it is a call for a fair and equitable resolution to a long-standing conflict that has affected countless lives.

We acknowledge that this decision may be met with varying opinions, and we do not take sides in a complex geopolitical issue. Instead, we aim to draw attention to the suffering of innocent Palestinians, who have faced unimaginable hardships for decades.

For too long, Western governments, media and companies have ignored the suffering of Palestinians, particularly those in Gaza. In the past six days alone, over 700 children have been killed from Israeli airstrikes, with many more expected as Israel prepares for a ground invasion. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday that the offensive on the Gaza Strip is “just the beginning.” Despite this, Western politicians and companies remain silent on the matter, caring more about their political ambitions and revenue than speaking up for the voiceless. Secret Flying refuses to be a part of this hypocrisy.

We understand that some travellers may be inconvenienced by this decision, and for that, we apologise. However, we firmly believe that our commitment to advocating for a just and peaceful resolution to this longstanding conflict takes precedence.

We are ready to revisit this policy as soon as we see significant progress towards the creation of a Palestinian state and improved conditions for all residents of the region. In the meantime, we remain committed to serving the global travel community, and we look forward to a brighter and more peaceful future for all.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we take this step towards peace and justice.

I made the mistake of arguing with someone online about this bullshit. It's a never ending circle of:

- "The IDF sucks; here is a giant list of war crimes they are committing, including genocide and apartheid."
- "What about Hamas? Are you defending killing innocent children? You are hosed in the head!"
- "I am not talking about Hamas, killing innocent children is always deplorable, I am talking about how the IDF sucks, here is a giant list of war crimes they are committing, including genocide and apartheid."
- "What about Hamas? Are you defending killing innocent children? You are hosed in the head!"

Loop forever.

the solution to the loop at that point is to just say "gently caress yeah i am. what are you going to do about it bitch"
